Dungeon Siege II - Multiplayer Connection Issues

[Guest]

Hello,
I've been having problems connecting to a multiplayer game. I have 2 PC's
at home on a network and we try to connect to our friends hosted game... For
some reason we can't connect. Its apparently a router issue because if one
computer is connected to the DSL Modem, then there's no problem except for
the fact that only one of 'us' can play with our friend... I've done
everything that's noted at the Dungeon Siege support link that's given
durning the game when you get the "can not make a direct connection to host"
'error' messege; and even a few things that are listed on MS' site. I went
so far as to get a new router and put my PC in the DMZ (YIKES!). Any
possible help is always greatly appreacheated!

Thank you for your time and effort,

RandyT

Hi ACTD_Randy,

Once you have both machines in a state where they can play your friends
hosted game individually, but not at the same time, you should be able to
get both of them to connect to the same game by using DXPORT a nice
utility available at: www.puffinsoft.com (they have help forums too!).
